Western New York Garden Railway Society

BHave Trains that you don’t know what to do with?

WNYGRS is most grateful for donations of “G-Gauge” and/or “G-Scale” Model Railroad Items (only), be they engines, rolling stock, buildings & structures, figures, power supplies or track, in the Scales of 1:22.5 (e.g. LGB: Lehman Gross Bahn), 1:20.5 to 1:24 (e.g. Bachmann) and 1:29 (e.g. Aristocraft & USA Trains). Although we are not able to authorize an IRS-related tax deduction, be assured that your donated items would continue providing enjoyment to both WNYGRS Members and the General Public who view our various Displays throughout the year.

Note: “Scale” is the ratio of size of the model to the size of the prototype, while “Gauge” is the distance between the rails.

If you should you have any “G-Gauge” and/or “G-Scale” that items you’re looking to dispose of, please feel free to contact us so we may provide some indication of their current condition and/or usefulness.

We may be contacted directly at:

TrainBearsLLC@roadrunner.com OR bobnlo1@verizon.net

However, if you have any other Scale Model Railroad items, such as N-Scale (1:160), HO-Scale (1:87), S-Scale (1:64 American Flyer), O-Scale (1:48 O27, Lionel 2 or 3 Rail), or F-Scale (1:24 to 1:20) items, we would also be happy to provide you with the names of some referral model railroad organizations that may be interested in those:
